Then linguists Jost Gippert and Wolfgang Schulze got involved with the Caucasian Albanian alphabet.[9] Specialized x-ray equipment with MuSIS was used, which made it possible to read the Caucasian Albanian palimpsest texts in their entirety.[10] A list of Caucasian Albanian month names, which survived in a number of medieval manuscripts, gave one of the clues to the language.[9]

Apart from the Caucasian Albanian palimpsests kept at Mt. Sinai, the most famous samples of Caucasian Albanian inscriptions were found in 1949 during excavations in Mingachevir region, Azerbaijan. Among the known Caucasian Albanian words are zow (I), own (and) and avel-om (much, ordinal form).
